Teletherapy
Here at Family Friendly Psychological Group, P.C. we utilize a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing service to conduct teletherapy sessions with clients located in the State of California.
Online or Virtual therapy session may be beneficial for you if:
- You have to stay home due to illness or a family member being ill
- You are in quarantine status and would still like to keep your therapy appointment
- You do not feel safe traveling due to bad weather conditions
- You do not have reliable transportation
- You do not have child care services
- You are concerned about maintaining your privacy
- You are concerned about the spread of Covid19 pandemic, your ability to seek treatment at home helps slows the spread of the pandemic and protects you and vulnerable populations. Teletherapy allows you to receives mental health treatment at the comfort of your home without being exposed to the risk of infection.
- Technical difficulties: Slow internet connections, glitches in video software, and communication delays can make online therapy feel more cumbersome, stressful, discouraging or less personal. If you lack technological proficiency or do not trust digital platforms, teletherapy may not be a good option for you, consider the traditional format.

- Test your connection ahead of your appointment
- Consider closing other windows and applications to enhance video quality
